First, a confession. You've probably noticed that the sites I've created have very few graphics, and there's a good reason for that: I'm a graphics idiot who hates slow-loading web pages. While I know how to insert a graphic image into a page, I don't know how to create original graphics (although I'm planning on learning before too much longer).
Because I stick religiously to the dictum "write what you know" (drilled into me by Victoria Redel, my freshman composition teacher — thank you, Victoria!), I won't be telling you how to create graphic images in this tutorial. However, I will tell you all I know about inserting them into your web pages.
The key code is this:
<IMG src="graphic.xxx" />
Where "graphic" is the name of your image file and ".xxx" stands for a suitable file extension, such as .gif or .jpg.
On to Image Attributes.
